Sure it does, because what is relevant are ecosystems, not language grammars.

Yes, C# the language is better designed than Java the language, while .NET the ecosystem is is tiny spot of Java the ecosystem.

When I mention JVM, I mean any implementation, I don't mix Java with Hotspot.

And yes PTC and Aicas sell full Java SE compliant implementations for embedded development.

The only embedded options for .NET are Netduino, hardly market relevant, and Wilderness Labs, which doesn't cover at all the kind of industrial deployments PTC, Aicas, microEJ and Gemalto are doing.

I work with Java and .NET alongside each other since they exist, so I know pretty well the pros and cons of each platform, specifically outside the implementations that people mix with the language.
